No problems, only slight confusion :)  (I was getting confused as to why my 
good DB was _occasionally_ changing, even though I _never_ insert in to it 
with procmailrc.)
But that's not why I mentioned it.

I brought it up after reading the other messages in this "DB corruption" 
thread, in which the original complainant had mentioned something similiar, 
and thought it might be helpful.

Thanks,
Barry
